The Directorate of Enforcement on Friday raided properties of Raj Kundra, husband of actress Shilpa Shetty, along with several others, in connection with a money laundering investigation linked to the production and distribution of pornographic content through mobile application.
Around 15 locations in Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh are being searched, the sources told PTI. They said the probe pertains to the role of suspects in alleged distribution of pornographic content through mobile applications and other modes. The central agency is also searching the premises of Kundra's associates, according to reports.
Kundra was arrested in June 2021 on charges of allegedly producing pornographic films. He was later granted bail in September 2021.
According to India Today, the network was uncovered following the bust of a pornography racket by the Mumbai Police in February 2021, which led to the arrest of five individuals. Further investigations resulted in four additional arrests over time.
